ABOUT THIS ALBUM

Album Notes

Michael Stern is a singer/songwriter, inspirational storyteller and Certified Laughter Leader, as well as a Clinical Researcher in Seattle. He has recorded ten CD’s of music, most of which he has composed himself. His songs inspire action & hope for peace, justice, tolerance & environmental sanity. Historical events & figures such as Martin Luther King, Jr., John Muir, Chief Dan George & Chief Joseph have inspired many of his songs. "Stand Up" is perhaps Michael's most well-known song & was inspired by often quoted words of Martin Niemoller:

First they came for the communistsThen they came for the Jews But I wasn't a communist & I wasn't a JewSo I didn't stand up & I didn't ask whyAnd by the time they came for meThere was no one left to ask why

Still they come for the outcastsFor the poor & the refugeesAnd though I am not an outcastAnd I'm not poor or a refugeeBut now I'm gonna' stand upAnd I'm gonna' ask whyAnd if sometime they come for meI hope there's someone standing by my sideYes, we're gonna' stand up ...
